Mattresses

Choosing the right hospital bed mattress depends on a few things: how much time the person spends in bed, whether they're at risk for pressure injuries, and what level of support they need. For someone recovering at home after surgery, a memory foam mattress for hospital bed use may be enough. For patients who are bedbound or have limited mobility, a pressure relief mattress with alternating air cells does more to protect the skin by redistributing weight and improving circulation.

Our alternating pressure air mattresses use a pump to cycle air through the mattress surface, reducing constant pressure on any one area. This is especially important for preventing stage 1 and stage 2 pressure injuries in hospice and long-term care settings. We also carry low air loss mattresses, which add airflow to help manage moisture and keep skin dry.

For facilities, mattress selection is one of the most direct ways to reduce skin breakdown across your resident population. A good pressure relieving mattress program lowers the risk of hospital-acquired pressure injuries and can reduce the time nursing staff spends on wound care. We carry bariatric options rated for higher weight capacities, as well as standard hospital mattress sizes that fit most homecare and facility bed frames.
